Shocker, I know, but spoilers:

Cyclops is not dead.

end of spoilers

So if these breakworld people can bring the dead back to life, I have a feeling that Kitty will die, Colossus will do his thing, the X-men leave and Kitty is brought back but abandoned in the New Breakworld.

That's a nice escape route to killing the cat.

Tired of resurrections, though. It's not like every X-Man needs to go through it. Yes, writers, near-death is just as exciting as deaths and comas!

This is just.....so two years ago.

DIDNT WANT TO READ IT BUT I WILL

Cool that it actually came out. Though was it supposed to come out October 1st? Lol at that.

Both covers are HOT!
I really enjoy the alien ladies' talk. It's good writing. Why is Runaways so lame?
Cassaday's Beast standing up straight is WEIRD. I think it's, like, our first look at the costume upright, isn't it? Lolz WEIRD.
AND TRY ON HATS LOLOLOL
LOLOLOL BY DEFINITION OGHHHHMGMYGOD HE NEEDS TO STAY ON THIS BOOK >:[
Forgot that Breakworld had BRING BACK TO LIFE machine or whatevs!

Can't wait.

What's the point though?

None. I'd rather she just die.

**streator** · 11-01-2007, 11:34 AM

well, at least that probably takes care of the speculation of someone dying in this arc. i don't think anyone else will.

**kate-pryde** · 11-01-2007, 11:34 AM

This seems so out of place and old. It's like reading an old back issue that came out a couple years ago. Cyclops is dead. Kitty's not dead (:)), Messiah Complex hasn't started or already started, and Joss' new focus is his new TV show for Fox.

I don't get why this was delayed and didn't wrap up months ago since it's completely anti-climatic.

HA! Cyclops drools in his sleep!

So Kitty can join the X-Treme Starjammers next year. Couresty of Claremont and Larocca natch. ;)

Beast and Agent Brand are so much fun together. I hope she's not forgotten.

Also there's a typo I think in the "yeah hilarious me" bubble. It should be thought I guess. But I'm an ESL student so don't blast me if it isn't a typo.
